Recommended Use The Dynamic Stander is a device to help a child to stand. The straps, seat pad, and contoured body support allow full to no weight bearing. It is possible to stand a child in the Dynamic Stander even without active use of trunk and leg muscles. The wide standing platform helps the user to spread his or her legs for hip development, or to accommodate leg braces. The platform is free of obstruction to facilitate placing the child in the stander. Five-inch, lockable casters in the rear of the Dynamic Stander enable its use outdoors on hard, level terrain. MOVE Curriculum: Available from MOVE International, this comprehensive text explains the MOVE program and describes the use of the specially designed MOVE equipment.

Adjustments See Figure 1 and 2. 1. 2. Use knobs (A) to adjust body support up and down. Always adjust body support height and tighten both knobs (A) before the child is in the stander. Use 4 knobs (B) to adjust width of body support. B A 3. 4. 5. 6. Top strap (C) can be adjusted and positioned in the center of the back, underneath the arms, or crossed in front of the body support. It can also come behind the head to be used as a neck support. The seat pad (D) can be adjusted up and down and angled in a variety of ways. Four separate straps (E) and multiple snap hook positions (F) allow for individual positioning needs. By adjusting the position and angle of the seat pad, the child can be snugly supported in an upright standing position or in a flexed stance to allow for contractures of the hips and knees. If more support is needed, a second seat pad can be placed in the middle of the back. Knee straps (G) are used to secure the knees in a standing or partially standing position. Your Dynamic Stander comes with two knee straps, but if a child needs abduction, two additional straps can be ordered. For a small child, use the top slots in the body support for the knee straps. For a larger child, use both bottom slots. Optional 32" wheels can be removed with a simple push button. Rolling on casters, the Dynamic Stander then allows for more convenient interaction between the child and his or her environment. Figure 1 C E D G Figure 2 F 5

Operation To safely place a child in the Dynamic Stander, immobilize the unit by applying the wheel locks. Release snap hooks or buckles on one side of seat pad and center strap of seat pad, allowing seat pad to swing out of the way. Release one side of top strap and swing it out of the way. Carefully place the child into the stander from the back. The seat pad should be placed under the child s buttocks. If the child is nonweight-bearing, position it at an angle appropriate to bear the child s weight. If the child is weight-bearing, the pad should be positioned vertically. The top strap should be placed under the child s arms, with fleece in back, and fastened behind the child s back. After placing the child in the unit, review the following checklist: Is the bottom of the body support below the knees? Is the top of the body support about nipple level or lower? Are the feet placed under the hips and as far forward on the platform as possible without causing discomfort? Is the body properly aligned? Is the body support adjusted to the proper width? Are all the straps fastened and snug? Is the child free of discomfort? When removing the child from the stander, insure that the child is sufficiently supported as straps are released. Begin by releasing restraints from the feet to the knees and work upwards.
